Thinking about how Eddie is a deeply silly man who has been forced into always being the responsible one. Thinking about How Buck is someone who longs to be taken seriously but is always treated like he's immature or irresponsible. Thinking about how Buck gives Eddie the freedom to be his most ridiculous and how Eddie trusts Buck with his most serious responsibilities and problems.

I understand why some people think the whole “Tommy refused to dress up” thing means absolutely nothing, but I do think it was a very conscious writing decision, and here’s why:

I’ve seen so many people saying “oh he couldn’t dress up because he needed to work” but that’s just not what he said lmao

It would’ve been extremely easy to let him say something along those lines and then his outfit would mean absolutely nothing, but that was not the case.

I do think that him being dismissive about it was a conscious decision, because It’s not about the outfit itself, it’s about his intentions.

If he was planing to dress up and couldn’t, he could’ve easily said this to Buck so he wouldn’t seem uninterested, but he was just genuinely uninterested, and that’s why he was like “eh this is good enough”

It’s like that one scene where everyone’s going home to their partners and Buck goes home to an empty apartment because Taylor’s working. It shouldn’t mean anything, just because people have jobs and she was on shift doesn’t mean she wasn’t interested, but the decision to show Buck being lonely in contrast to the others was a conscious effort to show the audience they have different priorities.

I need you, you know that. I need you too.

the other thing is. i think people in this fandom—as in, people who have been here for years—are unaware of the fact that bucktommy is the Main Ship for some people. like, bucktommy isn't just their gateway drug it's their otp. a lot of buddie blogs are multishippers and are, thus, buddie AND bucktommy girls (gn) but, like, there are some people out there who don't give a fuck about buddie because bucktommy was, like, their first introduction to the show and, as such, these people are going to want them to be endgame. you know? like. i'm making this post because i think there's a strong disconnect in perception as to what is happening in our fandom lol. buddie shippers, those of us who have been here for years, tend to view bucktommy as, like, a temporary ship because we know/believe in the strength of the narrative that has consistently led buck/eddie to each other. but no for some people, bucktommy is just where they live and they're happy there and they will always be there and it's not temporary, it's their endgame and they are always going to want them to be endgame even after buddie goes canon. so. you know. weird! something to think about right? huh!

@lgbtqcreators challenge: your url, lesbian rep, character of colour, free choice

we are born with innocence. then, as we grow, we are cursed with a question: "why?" why are we here? is it all just chaos, or do we have a purpose? i was one of the lucky ones who found an answer to that question. the curse was lifted and replaced with the gift of certainty. why am i here? because when you are scared, when you are hurt, and when you're in the wrong place at the wrong time and the smoke is too thick to breathe or it hurts too much to move or it looks like you might lose someone you love, when it's your turn to have the worst day of your life… i am here to be the first one there to help. i am here to stand between you and the chaos. i am a first responder. that is my purpose. and i'm always just a phone call away.

Rewatching Stuck and crying over good-dad Eddie Diaz and the difference in their bedrooms when they first move to LA.

Like this is Chris’s room:

It’s absolutely FULL of stuff. He’s got fun rugs, art, shelves, trophies, a terrarium, a LITTLE FIRE FIGHTER OUTFIT, stars and decorations on his dressers, a desk, a little basketball hoop, embroidered pillows. There is nothing Chris doesn’t have in here. Eddie bought this kid everything he needed and made sure his room felt special and fun and homey. And this is during Stuck, so there’s no Carla, no Buck, no Shannon helping him out. This room and everything in it was all Eddie who made sure his son has an awesome fun room with anything he needs in the city they just moved to.

And this is Eddie’s room:

Even for a guy who was in the military, this room is barren. No shelves, no decorations, no photos, a single mirror on the wall, no books, no art, nothing that would have taken any time or extra expense to put up. Now we know Eddie isn’t a guy lacking personality – he likes baseball, and has photos on his fridge and his living room, he has themed holiday pillows for the couch, he has a fucking personality, except he doesn’t here because his sole focus right now is taking care of his son so he hasn’t spent a single second worrying about the room Chris doesn’t go in and I am crying at self-sacrificing Eddie spending the few dollars he has as a probationary firefighter who just moved to LA to take his kid shopping for desks and rugs and shelves and buying nothing for himself but the barest necessities. Frank absolutely had Eddie pegged when he said he manages other people’s pain and never his own and this is just another example of Eddie sacrificing pieces of himself for his son.

Ask me again why I love him.

I know you were doing your job. And I'm proud of you for that, but there is a small selfish part of me that wishes you didn't want to anymore.

SCHITT'S CREEK 4.07 The Barbecue

[striving-artist]

I’m sorry, what was that about Joe not being liberal enough for y’all?

Because me and my six figures worth of student loan debt would like a word.

Source

[Picture ID: Tweet from @itshilarybuff, October 5th “Not a drill: Joe Biden commits to eliminating student debt for those who make under $120k. Y’all Go Vote!!!” Below that is the quote tweet from NBC News showing a clip from a town hall in Florida.]

[striving-artist]

btw, his plan, as stated here, doesn’t wipe my stupid loans, those aren’t going away shy of economic miracle, and I still love this answer. He’s talking specifically about killing loans going forward for people, and to handle the loans we already have, I copied from his website below.

From joebiden.com/beyondhs/#

More than halve payments on undergraduate federal student loans by simplifying and increasing the generosity of today’s income-based repayment program. Under the Biden plan, individuals making $25,000 or less per year will not owe any payments on their undergraduate federal student loans and also won’t accrue any interest on those loans. Everyone else will pay 5% of their discretionary income (income minus taxes and essential spending like housing and food) over $25,000 toward their loans. This plan will save millions of Americans thousands of dollars a year. After 20 years, the remainder of the loans for people who have responsibly made payments through the program will be 100% forgiven. Individuals with new and existing loans will all be automatically enrolled in the income-based repayment program, with the opportunity to opt out if they wish. In addition to relieving some of the burden of student debt, this will enable graduates to pursue careers in public service and other fields without high levels of compensation. Biden will also change the tax code so that debt forgiven through the income-based repayment plan won’t be taxed. Americans shouldn’t have to take out a loan to pay their taxes when they finally are free from their student loans.

That is much better than what the current set up does. Minus taxes and essential spending will be a fight over what that means depending where you live, but its a really good thing.

He also wants to help with job training so we don’t all get these degrees that don’t help us get dang jobs. And he wants to go after private for-profit universities. And he wants to better fun grant programs. and, and, and.

Most important of all? This guy listens. Sure, sure, politics is gonna politic, but millennials are the largest voting block in the country now. If we raise a fuss, it actually matters. But only if we vote.

[striving-artist]

Actually, let me just show you some math. Actual total of loans doesn’t really matter above a certain point to be honest because the interest grows faster than you can pay them, so lets say you’re on that sinking ship, where the payment amount to actually pay them off would mean paying something like 2700 a month. obviously not gonna happen. So you’re on an Income Based Repayment Plan with your borrower. You can be asked to pay between 10 and 20% of your net income (depending on many factors)

Lets say you’re a single human person, working a good job, 60k a year; after tax, you have around 45k. Under Biden’s plan, they start by taking 25k of that, putting it to the side and removing it from the calculus. Then. they take an amount off for essential spending. Don’t know what that math works out to yet, so lets assume someone awful gets to decide it, and its 12.7k a year (the poverty line for a single human) Then, they only can bill you for 5% of the remainder. So.

60k - taxes = ~45k

45k - threshold = 20k

20k - essential spending = 7.3k

$7300 x 5% = $365 a year -or- $30 a month

Sure, Strife, that’s a pipe dream, you say, what happens if the ‘essential spending’ part dies in congress? Fair point, Congress is a sinkhole of evil. But lets see:

60k - taxes = ~45k

45k - threshold = 20k

20k x 5% = $1000 a year  -or- $83 a month

Yeah, you say, but I’m a curmudgeon and I want to assume the worst because I hate politicians, what if they lose the threshold, and only get the 5% through and everything else stays exactly the same?

In that case, it will straight up cut everyone’s payments in half. Minimum. Whatever you’re paying now? Half that. In the case of the example above, that means

60k - taxes = ~45k

45k x 5% = $2250 a year  -or- $187 a month

So this guy is out here going after free college for the younger parts of GenZ and all of our kids. AND he’s going to make the loans we have into a much more bearable burden. PLUS. If you didn’t see up there? That he’d kill the taxes paid on forgiven loans? Yeah, that’s a thing right now. If you pay for 20 years, and end with 60k in loans to be forgiven, you pay taxes on the 60k all at once. Which means you owe the government around 15k. Which. Ironically. Usually means you have to take out another loan.

And this would apply to everyone, you can opt out if you wanna clear yours sooner, but you don’t have to do the jump through hoops and beg routine like you do now.

This is a really really really good plan, folks, please look at something other than tumblr and fb, please look at his website, there’s some really good stuff in there. If you don’t understand, ask for clarification, bc there is so much good.
